		<description>I encountered another example of unacknowledged outside the mainstream thinking and doing - in the offline world - about 4 years ago. While attending a Cubs division football game at Strawberry Hill Park on Bainbridge Island, I was delighted to discover the unusually healthy and tasty items offered at the concession stand, including &quot;Island Pork&quot; (with jalapenos, sauteed onions and cilantro) and a Chicken Salad with goat cheese, candied pecans cranberries and pears. After eating, I went back to the concession stand to compliment them on their offerings, and they were so excited to get any kind of feedback on their experiment - apparently I was the first person to comment - they tracked down their manager, who then tracked down the VP of Community and Involvement for Bainbridge Football.

I shared more details in a blog post about &lt;a href=&quot;http://gumption.typepad.com/blog/2006/09/building_a_comm.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Building a Community around Football and Food on Bainbridge Island&lt;/a&gt;, but I wanted to share a bit of this experience here as an example of how the reticence of people expressing feedback on innovative thinking and doing is not restricted to the online world.</description>

		<description>Indeed, I focus more on who is reading or listening or sharing than who is commenting. The kicker there is I usually don&#039;t know WHO is doing it, just the aggregate.</description>
